This paper reports a single case of lichenoid cutaneous sarcoidosis that was unresponsive to standard treatments but showed marked improvement with the administration of oral tranilast.

Treating generalized granuloma annulare is difficult, with PUVA being the most effective option, but relapses are common.

This review explores the causes and mechanisms of alopecia areata and discusses current treatments, reporting no new clinical findings.

The conference concluded that understanding hair and nail disorders is important, iron deficiency may be linked to hair loss, and while some treatments for skin conditions are effective, they may have risks and high costs.

This study observed that phototherapy is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for childhood dermatoses, particularly for psoriasis and pityriasis lichenoides chronica.

This systematic review found that light and laser therapies, including excimer and erbium-glass lasers, generally increase hair density and diameter in various types of alopecia, with particularly notable effects in androgenic alopecia but limited efficacy in telogen effluvium.

This review discusses alopecia areata, including its associations, challenges in treatment assessment, and various therapies tried, without reporting new clinical results.

This study enrolled nine patients to investigate the effects of oral psoralen and ultraviolet A therapy plus oral prednisolone for treating alopecia areata.

In this study, ultraviolet light did not significantly enhance or worsen hair growth induced by topical minoxidil in men with male pattern baldness.

In this study, patients with generalized pustular psoriasis were classified into subgroups to better understand the disease's variability and assist in treatment selection, highlighting the role of localized infections in triggering flares.

This chapter reviews dermatological treatments, noting that botulinum toxin A is associated with a higher occurrence of focal weakness compared to controls, and reports on adverse effects of finasteride and PUVA therapy.

This source outlines various surgical techniques as a potential treatment option for vitiligo, highlighting their usefulness when lesions are resistant to traditional therapies such as topical steroids, calcineurine inhibitors, and biological treatments.

This review highlights that laser and light treatments could serve as safe and effective alternatives to current therapies for alopecia areata, with the excimer laser showing positive results, though further randomized controlled trials are necessary to establish optimal treatment protocols.

This study found that isolated red light may serve as an alternative for photo-immunotherapy without additional photosensitizers, as it did not reduce keratinocyte differentiation markers or increase photo-oxidative damage, unlike treatment with IL-4 or UVA1/blue light.

In this study, 308-nm excimer light therapy showed significant effects in some patients with treatment-resistant alopecia universalis, suggesting it as a potential alternative therapy.

This review discusses the potential mechanisms and evidence supporting low-level laser therapy for stimulating hair growth in men and women, while noting its safety and effectiveness but needing further study on specific parameters.

This review discusses low-level light therapy for androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss, noting minimal clinical evidence on its efficacy and the need for more controlled studies.
